A slide show (slideshow) is a presentation of a series of still images (slides) on a projection screen or electronic display device, typically in a prearranged sequence. The changes may be automatic and at regular intervals or they may be manually controlled by a presenter or the viewer. Slide shows originally consisted of a series of individual photographic slides projected onto a screen with a slide projector. When referring to the video or computer-based visual equivalent, in which the slides are not individual physical objects. A slide show may be a presentation of images purely for their own visual interest or artistic value, sometimes unaccompanied by description or text, or it may be used to clarify or reinforce information, ideas, comments, solutions or suggestions which are presented verbally. Slide shows are sometimes still conducted by a presenter using an apparatus such as a carousel slide projector or an overhead projector, but now the use of an electronic video display

Maintainable Online Classes

Alexandre David Koo

This project was initialized by Professor Prandoni from EPFL in the context of a bachelor project entitled "Maintainable Online Coursese". The motivations for this project was the lack of intuitive slideshow annotation software considering the current boom of online classes, most notably the MOOCs. One of the major limitations of current options are the fact that annotations and video tracks are interwoven, giving very little editing power after a recording has been done. Such editing could come in handy to correct mistakes or update a video lecture. In this application, we attempt to seperate out the two worlds of annotations and slide transitions(video) and experiement to see if such a setup could be beneficial to the workflow. In order to achieve this result, the approach has been to carefully and precisely register every slide transition and pen stroke timing, to then be able to succesfully replay the session but with full modularity when it comes to editing and modifications.

Transposing multimedia into a virtual course

Olivier Burdet

The present paper describes the challenges posed by transposing a successful conventional course into an – hopefully – equally successful web-based course, with the name i-Structures. This work is under way as part of the Swiss Virtual Campus project. The i-Structures project team is composed of members from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, the Swiss Italian University in Mendrisio and Lugano, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich and the University of Applied Sciences in Manno. In addition to the use of text and illustrations, technical courses, in the present case engineering courses, often make use of some multimedia components, in the form of in-class demonstrations, videos and models. The idea behind the project proposed to the Swiss Virtual Campus in its second call for projects was to transpose this course into a web-based course that would offer both the teacher and the students more possibility for interaction with the phenomena and more freedom to consider complex problems. At the same time, the idea was to also extend this course to civil engineering students, who, in the process of being trained to use analytical method, often lose sight of the way structures work, and are often less creative in their approach to structural problems.
